Assemble the Emerald Lantern Beaded Necklace

Using the remaining supplies, assemble the Emerald Lantern into the beaded necklace as follows:
  • Place the completed Emerald Lantern at the center of your section of gold-colored beading wire by threading the beading wire through the top wrapped loop of the single crystal section.
  • Add a black seed bead on to the beading wire, on each side of the wrapped loop, then add a 6mm Swarovski crystal, a black seed bead, and a green bugle bead.
  • Repeat the above until you have added two more green bugle beads to the set, for a total of three bugle beads on your beading wire. the last bed added should be a black seed bead.
  • Now, add a 4mm Swarovski crystal, and repeat the pattern until you have a total of four additional bugle beads and have added three addition 4mm Swarovski crystals. The last bead before adding the clasp should be a black seed bead.
  • To add the clasp, place one Twisted Tornado Crimp to your beading wire, followed by a 10mm length of French Wire. Place one side of the Snap Clasp over the French wire, pass the beading wire back through a seed bead and one bugle bead. Pull snug, making sure that the French wire covers the beading wire under the loop of the clasp, then use a pair of flat nosed pliers to close the Twisted Tornado crimp. Repeat on the other side, making sure that the beading wire is pulled snug, leaving no gaps in the stringing.

    That's it, you've just completed the Emerald Lantern Beaded Necklace!
